A Play

After her mother's death young Rose comes to live with her two elderly, religious aunts and their brother James, a crippled priest. Every room where someone has died has been shut up, leaving only one open. Rose, who has been the mistress of an elderly psychologist, wants to go away with him. She begs the help of the priest but when he can offer her no comfort she commits suicide in the one remaining room - the 'living room'.
